  • Title: Cryptococcal antigen negative meningoencephalitis in HIV/AIDS.
    Author: Chastain DB, Guarner J, Franco-Paredes C.
    Journal: Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis; 2017 Oct; 89(2):143-145. PubMed ID: 28784461.
    Abstract:
    Diagnosis of central nervous system cryptococcosis relies on a spectrum of methods but has improved with lateral flow diagnostic assays that detect capsular polysaccharide antigens of Cryptococcus. Here, we present the case of an HIV-infected African-American man with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis caused by a strain producing little or no capsule.
